Guns and Horses Lyrics
You're so quiet
But it doesn't phase me
You're on time
You move so fast, makes me feel lazy
And let's join forces
We've got our guns and horses
I know you've been burned by every fire is a lesson learned
I left my house
I left my clothes
Door wide open
Never knowing
You're so worthy, you are
But I wish I could feel all it for you
I wish I could be it all for you
If I could erase the pain
And maybe you'd feel the same
I'd do it all for you
I would
Let's tie words
'Cause they amount to nothing
Play it down
Pretend you can't take what you've found
But you found me
On a screen you sit permanently
I left my house
I left my clothes
Door wide open
Never knowing
You're so worthy, you are
But I wish I could feel all it for you
I wish I could be it all for you
If I could erase the pain
And maybe you'd feel the same
I'd do it all for you
I would
It's time to come clean
And make sense of everything
It's time that we found out who we are
Cause when I'm standing here in the dark
I see your face in every star
But I wish I could feel all it for you
I wish I could be it all for you
If I could erase the pain
And maybe you'd feel the same
I'd do it all for you
I would
I'd do it all for you, I would
But it doesn't phase me
You're on time
You move so fast, makes me feel lazy
We've got our guns and horses
I know you've been burned by every fire is a lesson learned
I left my clothes
Door wide open
Never knowing
You're so worthy, you are
I wish I could be it all for you
If I could erase the pain
And maybe you'd feel the same
I'd do it all for you
I would
'Cause they amount to nothing
Play it down
Pretend you can't take what you've found
But you found me
On a screen you sit permanently
I left my clothes
Door wide open
Never knowing
You're so worthy, you are
I wish I could be it all for you
If I could erase the pain
And maybe you'd feel the same
I'd do it all for you
I would
And make sense of everything
It's time that we found out who we are
Cause when I'm standing here in the dark
I see your face in every star
But I wish I could feel all it for you
I wish I could be it all for you
If I could erase the pain
And maybe you'd feel the same
I'd do it all for you
I would
I'd do it all for you, I would

Firstly, i love this song.
Secondly, i think the song is about a guy that she likes, which may be scared to be in a relationship because he's been hurt in the past ('I know you've been burned but every fire is a lesson learned') but she would do anything('I left my house, I left my clothes, Door wide open, Never knowing, You're so worth it, you are')to take back the past and erase all his pain he's experienced - and could see how much she loves him. ('But I wish I could feel all it for you, I wish I could be it all for you, If I could erase the pain And maybe you'd feel the same') With anyone we love, you generally want to take all negativity and pain away from them to protect them. Towards the end of the song she appears to want to come clean to him and find out get things out in the open ('It's time to come clean And make sense of everything, It's time that we found out who we are')
Gorgeous Ellie, i love it!
Its about her relationship with a guy she met online (:
“I wrote Guns And Horses about a romance that began online… I wanted the guy to feel more than he did for me but through no fault of his own he couldn’t. It’s a song about frustration essentially.” -ellie goulding
i really, really love this song. it's so sweet and catchy.
love this!
first of all (btw this is coming from the lyrics on the itunes digital booklet included with her album) its "heaven knows, youre so worth it, you are" and secondly, this may just be a typo, its "on a screen you sit at permanently" This is an amazing song btw :)
Amazing song, and as for the meaning, straight from the horse's mouth: "I wrote Guns And Horses about a romance that began online... I wanted the guy to feel more than he did for me but through no fault of his own he couldn't. It's a song about frustration essentially."
Oh it seems I've turned it the other way around :) Interesting.

So much love for this song right now, especialy the remix by Monsieur Adi :)
I just love it when she sings "We've got our guns and horses"
I always sing "we've got our guns and horseys" :D
Great song
Me Too :D xx
Me Too :D xx
It's 'the screen you sit at permanantly', 'heaven knows' not 'never knowing' and 'I know you've been burned, but every fire is a lesson learnt'. X
